I've had a headache on and off for a week or so, I've taken painkillers which help but I ideally dont want to pop pills.

Does anyone know of another method of painrelief.

Any 'old wifes tales' greatly received.

Don't you think you should visit your GP. Headaches that last for any length of time may indicate a serious condition or at worst a brain tumour?
Sometimes taking too much in the way of pain relief can cause headaches so if you can do without occasionally it might be an idea to try that. A lot depends on what type of headache it is too. Sometimes a tension headache can be cured by relaxation techniques. Have you had your eyes tested - could it be a result of eye problems? I used to get migraines which caused pain and nausea (down to stress and certain foods) but I now do Tai Chi which incorporates a lot of breathing exercises which help oxygen intake and I rarely get headaches now. Good luck but as Kwicky says - if it persisits see a doctor.
You can buy from the chemist a stick thing to rub on your head. It is called forehead i think.

I've had my eyes tested about a week ago and it came up with no problems.

Thank you winny I'm off to buy one at lunchtime.
I used to suffer daily headaches. Even after having my eyes tested, cutting down on my tea and coffee (caffine), spending a fortune on "popping pills", I still had them.

Then I found out that most headaches are caused by being dehydrated.

Now, if I get a headache, I drink a pint of water and its gone within the hour.
